I took my 3-years old 5 to the Apple store (UK) last year with a swollen battery that was pushing the screen out of the bezel. I was expecting a repair bill, but was surprised that that they agreed to replace it for free. I was so pleased I bought a 6S for myself and gave the 5 to my wife to replace her ageing 3Gs. Everyone happy - including Apple!

This implies that DRM and "software as a service" can be used for political ends. Sure it'll give instant results but it will deter people from buying those products and services, and encourage home-grown solutions. Not a good move for the US but maybe good for diversity.

Looking further into it: You're right, his assets were frozen but enough was eventually released to meet the bail requirements.

I still occasionally play vinyl that I purchased in the 60's onwards. It's amusing to see the paper sleeves printed "home taping is illegal and it's killing music".

Indeed. The 50% of my acquaintentces who have iPhones take no notice of the update availability - it's just an irritation. The phone does what they want and that's it.
